Get AvP2 here
Jun 18th, 2012 at 10:54am
 
Since sierra no longer supports the game i thought id help revive this fun game. How? Well i took the time to copy the setup files from my own physical copy of AVP2 and all necessary files for online play. Since the master server no longer exists and has been replaced by one thats community driven CD keys are not required. STEPS TO FOLLOW ARE IN THE README.

Link to the download: http://www.gamefront.com/files/21863569/AvP2_rar

I hope what im doing isnt illegal since this game is no longer supported. I am doing this with good intentions. Trying to revive the multiplayer community!

[NO LAG] All weapons TDM [D]|[R]v5.0-RC15
[NO LAG] Predator Hunt [D]|[R]v5.0-RC15

Beautiful, but calling it 'NO LAG' is a bit arrogant to be honest... all servers have lag you know  Tongue But we will see.


Surely you can get a cool name for them?

Depends on the players? if there from EU of course they're gonna get lag... you could try n turn it off because now it doesn't do much anyway to benefit any server.

Seriously? Really? I was surprised a thread like this even exists here and the user didn't get warnings or banned for it?

Did the OP just like linked and shared a warez/pirated copy of AvP2? Or am I wrong?

Quite contradicting to how when I ask for the AvP2 source code and the admin forbids such, yet this OP openly shares and posts a direct link to the AvP2 game on the forums here????

So I don't know if the admin will change his mind regarding anonymous sharing such as through PM or personal emails. I always think that should be fine, make sure you delete and don't reference exactly what you are sharing, keeping things very discreet in case all the legal crap affects it.

I'm surprised the OP didn't get his post edited or censored by mods or the admin.

But oh well I agree that AvP2 is old and no longer commonly available in retail markets, and it's no longer bring any real benefit or profits to Fox, Monolith or Sierra. So it's like Abandonware.

I won't need this since I already OWN the original game discs (including the Primal Hunt expansion) and also made backup copies of them. But thanks for sharing.

Not really... because the game he uploaded was missing files... (checked my self) so im not worried.

I just never got around to delete the thread... also the source and the game is a different matter.

I'm all about sharing, but the source? nope sorry.


But before you said you will give the source to someone else in your previous thread? now stop asking for it.

Quote:
So I thought then maybe I can ask around and see anyone is interested to make any similar attempts at trying to see if they can "port" AvP2 to run on systems and OSes it normally was not possible to run on, etc. Would be very interesting concept but I am incapable of doing so, unfortunately.

I obviously can't do this myself but if I can provide someone that has those programming skills and experience the source code then maybe just maybe then they can try to make it happen. 


Quite contradicting huh?
